Facing Unpaid PF Deductions: What Steps Can Employees Take for Resolution?

Dear Seniors, I am Apoorva Sharma, working in a real estate company as an HR Executive. My company was established in December 2012, and I joined on January 2, 2013. The company deducts PF every month, with a fixed amount of 1560 for each employee. However, the company has only deposited the PF for the first 3 months in the PF office. For the remaining months, the money has been deducted but not deposited.

Request for Guidance on PF Issue

Could you please advise on what actions we, as employees, can take in this situation? Your guidance will not only help me but also my colleagues.

I would appreciate a prompt response. You can reach me via email at [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons].

Without further delay, I recommend clearing up any doubts by first consulting with your current employer or HR to inquire about the situation. If the amount was indeed not deposited after deduction, you have the option to file a complaint at the PF office in your area.

This is totally wrong if the employer deducts the PF amount from your salary but does not deposit it. Talk to your seniors and present the whole matter to them, or inform the EPF department near your office. It is the employer's responsibility to deposit the EPF amount (both the employer's share and the employee's share of contribution).
